Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or KhaDarel Hodge

Saturday, July 19, 8:36 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (undisclosed) was placed on the active/Physically Unable to Perform list. The wideout agreed to a two-year, $8.4 million deal with the Pats in March after bouncing around the National Football League throughout his career. He appeared in 112 regular-season games for the Eagles, Dolphins, Raiders, Falcons, and Bills, totaling 162 receptions for 2,069 yards and 15 touchdowns. Hollins spent last season in Buffalo, where he had a career-high five touchdowns. He'll have plenty of competition for targets in New England, with Stefon Diggs (knee), DeMario Douglas, Kendrick Bourne, Hunter Henry, and Kayshon Boutte all vying for the attention of quarterback Drake Maye. With that in mind, Hollins may have a tough time being a consistent fantasy producer, although he very well could have a few above-average fantasy outings during the 2025 campaign. Hollins is eligible to be removed from the PUP list as soon as he is medically cleared.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge should not be considered a playable option despite a possible opportunity Sunday against Carolina. With the Falcons unlikely to have wide receiver Darnell Mooney (shoulder), the Falcons have an opening, but the journeyman receiver hasn't been reliable enough to count on in Week 18. Earlier this year, he one catch against Dallas despite playing 81% of offensive snaps. Hodge has just one catch in the past five weeks total, a rookie quarterback in Michael Penix Jr., and a solid Atlanta running game that figures to be the central part of the gameplan on Sunday. Managers in formats that play Week 18 have better options elsewhere.
